The first mention Of tea--or as it was
then called tay, as an article Of British
commerce, occurs in letter written by
Mr.. Wickham, on the 9th Of june,
1915. which appears in the records Of the
East India Company. Shortly after the
date small parcels Of tea, valued at ten
pounds sterling per pound, were i'm.
ported from China to the East Indies,
whence they made their way to London
az presents to some Of its wealthy citi-
Gems. The first large consignment Of tea
was received in 1857, by Mr.. Thomas
Garway, . London merchant, and with
il no opened "a stand" known IN our
times Is "Garrways Coffee House," for
the sale, not Of coffee, but Of tea.

called muskets, is queer circumstance.
Musket is the name Of the male young Of

game, was named after the game itself,
probably because the male sparrow.

birds and brought them down to the
earth and to death. That was just
what the gun did, hence the name.
